We took a Major Marine Tour of Resurrection Bay, the Gulf of Alaska to the tip of the Pacific Ocean. It took us to see ocean animals, bird life and glaciers.
Humpback Whales
Killer Whales (Orcas)
Sea Lions
The Holgate Glacier is considered a tidal glacier because it meets the water. It sounded like thunder when the ice broke away from the the left side of the glacier ("cave looking part) into the water.
These are Hanging Glaciers
All of the glaciers we have seen are melting rapidly. Cathy said she is sad and surprised at how much the glaciers have melted in just two years.
The Exit Glacier below has receded 15 miles in 10 years. It takes a glacier 8 years to add just 1 inch thickness to a glacier.

Great day! Moving to Stoney Creek RV Park to join Cathy and Charlie. Excited to be moving because we will have full hook ups at the campsite. Aussie needs a bath!
